You Will Never Be Exactly like the People You Look up To

You’ll be even better

You weren’t made for greatness. Not in the way you might think.

Maybe you’re like most of the world, and you look up to a select few. You want to be just like Michael Jordan or Jeff Bezos or your favorite author, mentor, or friend.

But the truth is you’ll never be like them.

You’ll be better.

You think that your influence on the world has to be as far reaching as theirs.

It won’t be.

You think your goal is to have millions of raving fans screaming your name.

It’s not.

“The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is” -Jim Carrey

Your job is to find those who you were sent here to help and serve them by sharing your message.

There are people who only you can reach.

They need to hear your voice, your perspective, your experiences that you were given so that you could lift, encourage, and inspire them. They need to hear the principles of self-improvement, life lessons, and success from you, even if they might not know it yet.
